Whipped Shortbread Cookies

These buttery little cookies were always on our Christmas baking list when I was young. My mom always made them with a half a cherry on top! I did a few like that, but they are good with sprinkles too!

They are WAY easy and super tasty. They literally just melt in your mouth!

Here is what you need,

1 cup butter, softened but not too warm!

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup icing sugar

Halved cherries or sprinkles for decorating

In the bowl of a stand mixer, you could do this by hand but the mixer sure makes easy work of it!

Combine the butter, flour and icing sugar and mix on medium high speed for 10 minutes, until the mixture is very light and fluffy!

Hi Shelly! I think if you wrapped them well and put them in an airtight container they would be ok for a couple of months. They never last very long at my house but I am sure I have had them in there over a month before and they have been fine.
